Almost In Tears...



...That's what a beautifully sung rendition of "Ave Maria" does to me - almost reduces me to tears (along with giving me chills). Pavarotti's version is perhaps one of the best. I also enjoy Bocelli's version. And Josh Groban's...

I've never taken the time to look up what the song, translated, actually means. Part of me doesn't want to. I like the mystery of it...

Have a great weekend

Several years ago one of my cousins had a huge December catholic wedding. Right before her father walked her down the aisle, he sang this song from the balcony behind us accapella. It was incredibly beautiful and incredibly haunting. I get goose bumps just thinking about it.

Don't be afraid to look at the translation, it's a beautiful song in any language...
but I won't spoil it for you in case you're adamant.

It is a beautiful song! I enjoy it every time I hear it. My boyfriend tries to sing along which is a genuinely cute effort, but I like Pavarotti`s version much better. ;)
